I have few interjections too. The original post was given the subject entry for a purpose. Often, we post, and no discussion/response is forth coming (at least the amount of response we hope for). The subject line was effective and appropriate. I would ask the original poster to "enough", what are you hiding? A colleague approaches, 'what's that' they query, wah-lah!, an entry into the subject matter that the original post was inquiring about. Thus, a relevant response may be the result. IOW, the "enough" reply is a symptom of the original question, whimsically (or pathetically) appropriate while it is interestingly ironic too. I don't know the answer regarding 'nude natives' in exhibits. It doesn't offend me. In fact, as an 'educated' 'white man', I am offended when I detect the censorship that would hide the truth. IMHO, Nudity is in no way offensive. Post signs? Well, in our PC society, I think it is obligatory but pathetic. Perhaps, our subject line entries need obligatory apologies too!? I dunno. Likewise, does Natural History embody humanity? I dunno. No, I do know. Yes. In my museum, and in my opinion, white folk and their cultures are interesting and exhibited. The semantics seem superficial. If this is about pornography then we are in a different arena altogether. However it is not about pornography. The subject line was explainable and interesting and professionally relevant. Censor the censors and what do we have? A Museum exhibit? Let's keep the conversation on focus and not resort to flames. Tanks for reading, large amorous ones. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------ TAG - YOU'RE 'IT' Terry Vidal [log in to unmask] http://www.uni.edu/vidal If you can read this YOU'RE close enough! ___________________________________________________________________
